Miami Jewelry Photographer | Kate Benson Photography and Earthy Chic Boutique

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing the ecommerce images for Earthy Chic Boutique. This company was started by two incredibly fun sweet girls who sell in Mary Brickell Village but needed to get a website up and running. Jewelry photography is one of the  most complex and sensitive types of photography, do it right and you can beautiful shots, do it wrong and it can look really, really terrible. As many have, the girls did their own photography while putting together their budget for professional photography and as they explained to me, it only encouraged them to get into the studio and get some professional photos right away. Happily we were able to get the pieces in here and turned around in a couple of days (quite a feat since they had over 80 pieces). Well, the girls haven’t got the website up and running yet, but it you love anything you see here go give them a visit in Mary Brickell Village and when the website is up and running I’ll post a link for everyone!

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from Earthy Chic Boutique:

 

Retouching for news, a big no-no

Looks like you still can’t get away with post production on news images. NPR published an article about a retouched image from Kim Jong Il’s funeral which had been retouched. Personally I think it’s a small edit on the image, not like they were trying to make the masses of mourners bigger for North Korea’s recently passed leader Kim Jong Il or anything… just straightening them up in a more orderly way. We all know how those North Koreans like to have things straight and orderly after all….

Happy holidays

December has been an insane month. Like many of my months this year, it’s one of the things I am grateful for looking back at 2011. Many new clients popped up this year and many old clients took big steps in photography. I am happy to have been able to be a part of such transitions for companies big and small. From high fashion marketing photography for Donald J. Pliner to creative minds needing more straight forward product photography like those at Wurkin Stiffs the products I get to photograph always impressed me this year. I wish I had stumbled upon some of them sooner but it is likely next year many of the men and woman in my life will get gifts from these guys.
This week has started out as crazy as last was. I like to think that as the holidays wind down time opens up and I can stop and reflect in more blog posts and such. It seems that won’t be the case. So many a wallpaper Wednesday passed by unchanged, and many a friend, family and client left in the dark, it is with reflection and gratitude that my overdue blog post shares a little of what I’ve been up to. Here are some outtake shots of the Wurkin Stiffs shoot last week!

 

 

Eric Rutberg | Transparent

A few month back I shot Eric Rutbergs new shoe line Transparent for his website. Although it is still in beta I couldn’t resist sharing the preview I was sent. I love the way we decided to photograph his shoes. The layout looks beautiful and so are the designs on the product. Who says an ecommerce photographer’s job is boring? How could that be possible, just look at these shoes!
